Peter Jablonski

When recently transferred to the South District from the East District, Jersey City police officer Peter Jablonski was rushing to to attend the birth of his first child in a snowy park, he runs over a teenage cyclist. He could have done the right thing. Instead of officially reporting the accident, Peter phones his supervisor on the drug task force who arrives at the scene with two of his colleagues. They instantly conspire to cover up the crime. The men will argue later that they thought the teenager was already dead.

The fact that Peter is "one of the theirs", they don't want his life to be destroyed for what they think is just a stroke of bad luck. With elements of racial tests, they are convinced, that in the era of "Black Lives Matter" , the whole department will take an unjustified public-relations hit if news gets out that a white cop ran over a black teen, even though Peter did not do so intentionally.
